Chapter 2 __________________________________________________________ Product Overview CHAPTER 2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Thank you for choosing the Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Transmitter Series HMT100. This chapter introduces you to its features. The Vaisala range of relative humidity measurement instruments covers all the applications from ventilation to process control in demanding explosive areas.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Fixed and Remote Probe Models The HMT100 is available either with a fixed probe (0.1 m probe cable) or a remote probe with different cable lengths (3/5/10 m cable lengths. A 10 m extension cable is also available; see Table 12 Options and Accessories on page 48).

Chapter 3 _______________________________________________________________ Installation Installation with Rain Shield The installation kit with rain shield includes a metal mounting plate and a rain shield for the transmitter. Vaisala order code: 215109. 0505-340 Figure 4 Installation with Rain Shield (Spare Part No. 215109) Fasten the metal mounting plate to the wall or pole with screws (see Figure 4 above).
DTR502 and a plastic installation support for the humidity probe. Vaisala order code: DTR502B. If you already have the DTR502 shield and need only the installation support for the probe, it is available with Vaisala order code 210623. Fasten the probe to the installation support with two cable ties (items 3 and 4 in Figure 5 below).
Chapter 3 _______________________________________________________________ Installation Duct Installation Kit The duct installation kit includes a plastic pipe with a flange (Vaisala order code: 215619). To install the HMP100 probe with the duct installation kit, drill a hole to the duct wall, assemble the probe to the duct installation kit, slide the probe head through the hole, and attach the flange to the duct wall with four screws.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Probe Assembly with Duct Installation Kit 0505-177 Figure 7 Assembly of the Humidity Probe with the Duct Installation Kit The following numbers refer to Figure 7 above: HMP100 Duct installation kit Probe cable Slide the probe cable through the duct installation kit plastic pipe. Attach the probe cable to the HMP100 Humidity Probe.
Drill holes for the duct installation kit mounting screws around the hole in a square arrangement, 42 mm apart from each other. Use a 3.2-mm drill bit to drill the holes for the mounting screws (four ST4.2×16-C-Z DIN 7981 screws). VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 21...

Remove the filter (plastic grid or sintered stainless steel). Remove the damaged sensor and insert a new one. Recalibrate the transmitter. Replace a dirty filter to ensure a maximum lifetime and a fast response for the sensor. Do not attempt to clean the filter.

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Removing and Fastening the Probe Fixed Probe Model Remove and replace the probe as follows: Loosen the plastic probe cover by carefully turning it counter clockwise. Remove the probe cap and the O-ring. Remove the probe cover. The probe is now exposed. Unscrew the small sleeve that is securing the probe in place and pull out the probe.
Replace the probe and screw the small sleeve back on, securing the probe tightly in place. 0506-006 Figure 12 Removing the Humidity Probe (Remote Probe Model) The following numbers refer to Figure 12 above: Probe cable Sleeve securing the probe to the cable HMP100 probe VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 27...
In case the probe is outside its adjustment/trim range due to, for example, chemical exposure, the calibration cannot be completed. In this case, it is recommended that you change the probe or contact Vaisala Services. Relative Humidity Adjustment Using Push Buttons...
You can check and adjust the HMT100 relative humidity measurement with the HM70 Hand-Held Humidity and Temperature meter. A HM70- connection cable is needed. Vaisala order code: 211339. There are four types of adjustments available: field checking and adjustment using a calibrated reference probe, one-point adjustment using a calibrator, two-point adjustment using a calibrator, and LiCl- NaCl adjustment.
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ SERVICE PORT Connect the 211339 HM70-connection cable to the connector on the HMT100 motherboard (see Figure 9 on page 22). Connect the other end of the connection cable to either of the HM70's connector ports located on the bottom of the indicator (see Figure 14 above).
Enter the correct reference value with the arrow buttons. Press Confirm the adjustment by pressing BACK EXIT The adjustment is done. Press to return to the basic display. Turn off the MI70 and detach the connection cable. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 31...
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Two-Point Adjustment Using a Calibrator Note that the difference between the two reference humidities must be at least 50 %. MI70 indicator is used now only as a terminal for visualizing and setting the transmitter's RH reading. Follow steps 1 to 7 on page 30 and continue as follows: Remove the filter from the transmitter's probe and insert the probe head into the lower humidity reference condition.
The available reserve for T adjustment of HMT100 depends on the initial temperature calibration of the unit. BACK EXIT Adjustment is done. Press to return to the basic display. Switch off the MI70 and detach the calibration cable from MI70 and from the transmitter. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 33...
You can check and adjust the HMT100 relative humidity measurement with the HMI41 indicator and HMP41/45/46 probes. A HMI41- connection cable is needed. Vaisala order code: 25917ZZ. There are three adjustment modes available: offset (dry point), gain (wet point), and two-point adjustment. All of these can be performed using the...
These setting are stored in the HMI41 memory; when the HMI41 is turned on again, it will automatically wake up as a calibrator for digital transmitters with these serial line settings. After making these settings, continue with the adjustment and follow the directions of the chosen adjustment method. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 35...
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Offset and Gain Adjustments Offset and gain adjustments are performed in the same way (they differ only in internal calculations), so this section is valid for both methods. SERVICE Connect the 25917ZZ HMI41-connection cable to the PORT connector on the HMT100 motherboard (see Figure 9 on page 22).
The HMI41 can also be used for visualizing and setting the transmitter's RH reading manually. A display similar to the one below should be visible: The numbers on the first line indicate the transmitter reading, and the numbers on the second line indicate the HMI41 probe reading. VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 37...

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ MODE Let the readings stabilize and press . The following display appears: The HMI41 now works only as a terminal for setting the humidity reading. The numbers on the first line are blinking, and the numbers on the second line indicate the transmitter reading. You can now set the blinking reading to the correct value (for example, the equilibrium RH of a salt solution) with the buttons ▲...

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________ Analog Output Tests HMT100 has a built-in software function for testing the analog outputs. To test the outputs, do the following: Make sure the transmitter is not in adjustment mode. Press the 75 % adjustment button (see Figure 13 on page 28). This sets the output current/voltage level to the middle point of the selected output range (specified when ordering the product).
The transmitter cannot indicate a faulty RH probe. Voltage Output Voltage output version has no error mode indication.
